Well the offense is supposed to beat the defense. Depends on your perspective. Maybe their assignments are the 3 eligible receivers on that side.

I can't believe you go to Carribbean beaches! Do you spend money on vacations because the government doesn't take your excess capital and give a tenth of it to the impoverished?

Fair enough. It's actually a great matchup. I'm excited to see our CB's on Marshall and Decker. The guy I'm most worried about is Kerley.

Like I said, their defense is performing much better than we are. They may be more talented at what they are being asked to do, than our players are at what they are being asked to do.

D-line is at best a wash too, especially when you consider what our D-line has been doing, and with Kyle out. CB, Bills slight edge. S wash, full of backups. RB, Bills if McCoy is healthy. I wanna say QB is Bills, depending on how Taylor handles the pressure and contain. At the end of the day, they have a defense that's top 5 and 1st against the run. They're certainly performing better than us. It's an arguable point.

I think you could make this argument, TBH.

I don't think anyone is "upset." You can hold a negative opinion without being hysterical. And yes. The media didn't cover the Incognito thing one bit, because Martin is gone. There's no "sides" it's just his old team. With Geno, it's the guy who assaulted him being made a captain against his team. That's gonna draw headlines. I don't particularly care, but I wouldn't have made IK a captain. The excuse, "this is what I always do" is sorta bogus. And I'm not "upset."

I'm no Obama guy, but he has sorta touched on this before.

Why? Isn't that the heart of the issues in this thread?

No. But then again, Richie was basically vindicated, and the player in question was no longer on the team. If J-Mart was still there, you probably would've heard about it.

Sorta agree with this too. I'm all for standing up for your principles, but at the end of the day, it's a sign. Does this really need to be pursued?

The flipside is, if members of the team find motivation to win by being made a meaningless captain because of a geographical location, they didn't have enough to begin with.

I hadn't watched it. I figured he did it after a TD or something. Not that it makes it anymore "right" but I could see him thinking it would be a good celebration for the fans or something. Pregame though. That's just a dick move.

Nope. Enjoy a life without nuance.

It was pregame?

No no, someone who works and pays off their student loans by getting a degree that actually gets them a job will get his privilege checked, and have to pay his fair share to eliminate some Gender Studies graduate's debt.

There was another black student called the n word two months prior to this. Here's the full list of incidents: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/11/09/the-incidents-that-led-to-the-university-of-missouri-presidents-resignation/ If you don't follow the link, some black students were called the n-word by a drunk white guy in October. And the Student Body President was also called the n-word by a group of white kids in a pickup in September. And back in April some moron drew a swatstika in a stairwell, was promptly caught and plead guilty. Then, this group issued "demands" to Tim Wolfe, the University President. Some of them are wacky. The highlights. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/mizzou-football/heres-list-demands-mizzous-protesting-athletes-students/ a new amendment to thd UM system policies must be established to have all future UM system president and Chancellor positions be selected by a collective of students, staff, and faculty of diverse backgrounds. We demand that by the academic year 2017-18, the University of Missouri increases the percentage of black faculty and staff members campus-wide by 10 percent. In the letter and at the press conference, Tim Wolfe must acknowledge his white privilege, recognize that systems of oppression exits, and provide a verbal commitment to fulfilling Concerned Student 1-9-5-0 demands. It felt like something was missing from the story for me too. Maybe the President was ignoring the protests or something? Even still. Now I'm going to climb up on my soapbox here. These n-word incidents, while reprehensible, do not seem to indicative of systematic oppression. How many times does this happen around the country? Even with all our race training and other measures. It may be time to recognize that racist !@#$s are always going to be racist !@#$s. Mizzou teachers aren't teaching kids to be racist. The President doesn't seem to be condoning racism. Why do they go after these people? It boggles my mind. Furthermore, I fear this will actually accentuate racist tendencies. I fear that things like this, which will get played out in the media, will add "fuel" for racism.

There isn't one.

Key word. Rex won't change and he won't be fired.

That's exactly what's going to happen. Rex will get his defense together by his third year and our window will be gone.

Yeah but 3rd's point was a guy like Suh may have done something dirty and hurt him. That's why he was worried.

I think that honor goes to Nigel.

I agree and disagree. Can't make plays on the sidelines in street clothes. A healthy Taylor is the only way we make the postseason this year. Don't want to see him get hurt doing something that has a low chance of success.

Yes, I'm sure that argument had nothing to do with the fact that he was getting the start that week, and like always, a Pro-Bills point is always the correct answer, irrespective of the on-the-field product. Of course, when players say the defensive scheme sucks, they are just morons. When a WR talks up his only option at QB who has confidence problems, it's because he turned a corner and is really good now, you guys!

It was based on the stats of our defense. What are you even talking about? Maybe we could talk about the non-sensical argument that had you do a 180 on EJ Manuel because of the third Q of a preseason game.
